Characterization of two electronic subsystems in cuprates through optical conductivity

Understanding the physical properties of unconventional superconductors as well as of other correlated materials presents a formidable challenge. Their unusual evolution with doping, frequency, and temperature has frequently led to non-Fermi-liquid (non-FL ...

Many-body Green?s function approach to lattice thermal transport

Nicola Marzari, Michele Simoncelli

Recent progress in understanding thermal transport in complex crystals has highlighted the prominent role of heat conduction mediated by interband tunneling processes, which emerge between overlapping phonon bands (i.e., with energy differences smaller tha ...

Experimental investigation and analysis of sequential jet impingement concepts for enhanced turbine cooling

Michele Gaffuri

With the future decarbonization of the electricity production, gas turbines will be an important tool for the stabilization of the electricity grid by meeting the peak of energy demand using zero-carbon fuels like synthetic gas and hydrogen.The combustion ...

Dark matter, dark photon and superfluid He-4 from effective field theory

Angelo Esposito, Emma Michèle Ginette Geoffray

We consider a model of sub-GeV dark matter whose interaction with the Standard Model is mediated by a new vector boson (the dark photon) which couples kinetically to the photon. We describe the possibility of constraining such a model using a superfluid He ...

Sub-GeV dark matter in superfluid He-4: an effective theory approach

Angelo Esposito

We employ an effective field theory to study the detectability of sub-GeV dark matter through its interaction with the gapless excitations of superfluid 4He. In a quantum field theory language, the possible interactions between the dark matter and the supe ...

Helium-induced electronic transitions in photo-excited Ba+–Hen exciplexes

Marcel Drabbels

The possibility for helium-induced electronic transitions in a photo-excited atom is investigated using Ba+ excited to the 6p 2P state as a prototypical example. A diabatization scheme has been designed to obtain the necessary potential energy surfaces and ...

Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Re-Based Superconductors

Joël Mesot, Johan Juul Chang

To trace the origin of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in Re-based superconductors, we performed comparative muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR) studies of superconducting noncentrosymmetric Re0.82Nb0.18 (T-c = 8.8 K) and centrosymmetric Re (T ...

Nodeless superconductivity in the noncentrosymmetric Mo3Rh2N superconductor: A mu SR study

Joël Mesot

The noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo3Rh2N, with T-c = 4.6 K, adopts a beta-Mn-type structure (space group P4(1)32), similar to that of Mo3Al2C. Its bulk superconductivity was characterized by magnetization and heat-capacity measurements, while its micr ...

Properties of helium bubbles in covalent systems at the nanoscale: A combined numerical and experimental study

Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander

The properties of nanometric-sized helium bubbles in silicon have been investigated using both spatially resolved electron-energy-loss spectroscopy combined with a recently developed method, and molecular-dynamics simulations. The experiments allowed for a ...

Thermal transport in low dimensions

Andrea Cepellotti

Lattice vibrations are the microscopic mechanism responsible for a large, if not dominant, contribution to heat transport in crystalline insulators. These vibrations are described in terms of phonons, collective excitations (or quasiparticles) in the form ...
